After a relatively uneventful ride of 100km in Lijiang, the yellow jersey of Myagmarsuren Baasankhuu was shining bright on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain as the 24-year-old Mongolian outsprinted three Yunnan Development Team riders. The locals were visibly unhappy of not being able to shake 'Miga' off, but they will learn from the tactical mistakes they made. Enkhjargal Tuvshinjargal was also not to be beaten in this stage.

After a welcome rest day, the 2015 Colourful Yunnan Granfondo will reach its conclusion in Lijiang on Saturday. Given the nature of the course, a flat beginning but a mountainous finish, the race for the GC is still open for the men's.
